Abstract

Libraries are spaces for reflecting, learning, living together, educating… thanks to reading. Reading is the centre of the library and must be promoted with care, even before birth, because it is an indispensable tool for personal development. The process of reading must be studied and followed step by step respecting the idiosincrasy and freedom of each reader. Each library should build its “own philosophy”, which all the team members must interiorize and do their own. Thus, the staff will work in a coherent way —being and not simply doing— to create a space for socio-educational intervention, an educative library; creating a library-school-family tandem, so they cycle togue-ther towards reading, actualizing and supporting the transit from orality towards literature.
